Teaching Approach

Updated 8mo ago

The Girls Division emphasizes a dual-curriculum environment rooted in kedusha, limud HaTorah, and character development—cultivating students’ minds and hearts through Torah learning, studying Hashem’s world, gemilus chasadim, and community responsibility. Its program is designed to help each student thrive spiritually, academically, and personally, while also providing rigorous college-preparatory General Studies (including Honors/AP and opportunities for college credit) to prepare graduates for higher education and life as professional Torah Jews.

Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Yeshiva of Greater Washington (YGW) Boys Division admissions starts by completing the online inquiry form on the school website (Middle/High School inquiry), after which the school contacts you to begin the online application. (yeshiva.edu) The application process includes submitting prior-year report cards/transcripts and requesting letters of recommendation; once materials are received and reviewed, YGW schedules an interview. (yeshiva.edu) Prospective students also complete placement testing in both Limudei Kodesh and General Studies (including preparing a piece of Gemara to discuss, and completing a writing sample plus standardized tests in math/verbal/reading on a scheduled test day). (yeshiva.edu) Applicants and parents may observe classes by prior arrangement, and families are notified in writing of admission status after administrators evaluate records, recommendations, interview, and test results. (yeshiva.edu) The publicly available materials reviewed did not list specific admissions deadlines/key dates, waitlist procedures, or priority categories; the school directs families to contact the Boys admissions administrator for questions.
